Airbags
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The noise of detonation associated with
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in slight and temporary loss of
hearing.

Front airbags
System which protects the driver and
passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger front airbag if it is deactivated, in
the event of a serious front impact to all or part
of the frontal impact zone A
, in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane
and directed from the front to the rear of the
vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger side to cushion their
for ward movement.
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of passengers (with the
exception of the centre seat in rows 2

and
3, depending on your vehicle) in the event of
violent collisions. The airbags supplement the
effect of the seat belts with force limiter.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i

n the event of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the passengers
(with the exception of the centre seat in
rows 2

and 3, as applicable); immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the passengers,
-

i

n the case of a minor or rear impact or
in certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.

Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.),
nor fix or attach anything close or in the way
of airbag trajectory; this could cause injuries
during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Even when following all the precautions
listed, a risk of injuries or slight burns to
the head, the chest or the arms, when an
airbag deploys cannot be excluded. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries
in case of airbag deployment.
Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to the
roof, as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a part in
securing the curtain airbags. Side airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not attach or hang anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could cause
injuries to the thorax or arm when the side
airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors – Risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

General points relating to
child seats
* The legislation on carrying children is specific to each country.
Although one of PEUGEOT's main
considerations when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
-

I

n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12

or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in an approved child seat suited to
their weight and installed on a vehicle seat
fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings*.
-

S

tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the rear
seats.
-

A c

hild weighing less than 9

kg must
travel in the rear ward facing position
both in the front and in the rear.
PEUGEOT recommends that children
should travel on the rear seats of your
vehicle:
-

re

arward facing
up to the age of 3,
-

fo

rward facing
over the age of 3.
Child seat at the rear
Row 2
Ensure that the seat belt is properly
tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm contact with the
floor. If necessary, adjust the front seat of
the vehicle.
"Rearward facing"
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the rear ward facing child seat does not
touch the vehicle's front seat.
Adjust the rear seat to the fully back position,
with the backrest straightened.
"Forward facing"
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the for ward
facing child seat do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.
Adjust the rear seat to the fully back position,
with the backrest straightened.

Safety

158
Child seat at the front
"Rearward facing"
The passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag is deployed.
When a rear ward facing child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat
, adjust the seat
to the fully back and highest position, with the
backrest straightened.
"Forward facing"
When a for ward facing child seat is installed on
the front passenger seat , adjust the vehicle's
seat to the fully back and highest position with
the seat backrest straightened and leave the
passenger's front airbag activated.
Ensure that the seat belt is properly
tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm contact with the
floor. If necessary, adjust the passenger
seat.
(Refer to the current legislation in your country
before installing your child on this seat.)
Row 3
If fitted to your vehicle, when a child seat is
installed on a passenger seat in the 3rd row,
move the seats in the 2nd row for ward and
straighten the backrests so that the child seat
and the child's legs do not touch the seats in
the 2nd row.

To ensure the safety of your child,
the passenger front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a rear ward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Other wise, there is a risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child if the airbag is
deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, with the
ignition off , turn the switch to the ON position
to reactivate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger(s) in the event of
an impact.
When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
